We've used this ferry several times and enjoy it! It was $14.50 for us and the car and a convenient schedule. You can get out of your car and walk around during the crossing and the scenery is nice. You can stay inside an enclosed are or be outside in the elements. We would recommend the ferry - very convenient.

An easy way to transit between upstate New York and Vermont. A cash operation that will cost you $10.25 per car plus $4.25 per passenger. Not a bad deal considering the time saved driving plus the views crossing Lake Champlain.

We crossed from Vermont to Essex NY, which is the southernmost crossing of the Lake Champlain Ferries. Essex is a very small village with only a couple of shops and eateries. We actually drove 8 miles further to Willsboro for lunch. The ferry ride was easy and relaxing; well worth our time !

We took the day narration cruise around the lake. It was fantastic! Although a bit warm and windy, there is narration over the loud speakers so you can learn about the shipwrecks and historical sites around the lake.

Our first time on the ferry. Everything was very relaxed. Only a small ferry which took about 30 mins to cross the lake.
We paid $14 for the one way trip (2 adults and a car).
It was a very smooth crossing and the time passed quickly looking at the Vermont and New York state scenery.
